Disappointment for a huge fan!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

THE LATE NIGHT DOUBLE FEATURE is another throwback indie feature from director Christopher R. Mihm, made on tiny budgets and shot in black and white. They're conceived as tributes to 1950s cult cinema with deliberately retro styliings and a low-fi look. Mihm usually makes feature-length productions but these two came up short so he put them together as one. The first, X: THE FIEND FROM BEYOND SPACE, is a generic bit of fun about a space crew attacked by a man-in-a-suit alien. The second, THE WALL PEOPLE, is about unusual child abductors and less successful as the budget is too low to do the story justice. The films are too cheap to really work but at least they don't outstay their welcome too much.
